As you may remember,Wildfowl reported in Marchwhen avian influenza began wreaking havoc among wild waterfowl and domestic poultry populations. Since then, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), a division of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), has been closely monitoring the spread and imparting new efforts to migrate the effects of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). With the latest development from the APHIS office comes a series of restrictions on the importation of avian commodities (including hunter-harvested waterfowl species). Simply put, your birds will either have to go…

The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for the information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the individual who left an illegal trap that ultimately caused the death of a fox in Montclair last week.

A fox trapped in an animal trap was reported to Montclair Police and Montclair animal control in the morning of June 21 at The Fairway. The fox had attempted to gnaw its leg off to get free. Due to injuries from the trap, the fox was humanely euthanized by Montclair animal control, Animal Control Supervisor Michele Siber said.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Local officials said residents in and around Dubuque should not be surprised if they see more signs of coyotes and other fur-bearing mammals.

In recent weeks, some area residents have taken to social media to report seeing or hearing coyotes in Dubuque and the surrounding area.

City of Dubuque Public Health Specialist Mary Rose Corrigan said the only report of a coyote the city has received recently is of a dead one on U.S. 20. But Dubuque County Conservation Executive Director Brian Preston said his staff has received numerous calls reporting signs of coyotes in the area.

The flock is the first in Marion County and the 14th in Indiana to record positive tests for bird flu this year. The 2022 bird flu outbreak is Indiana’s largest in years, part of the worst outbreak in the United States since 2015.

The State Board of Animal Health says its staff will reach out to poultry owners nearby to test for bird flu.

Rising prices for eggs has been one effect of the outbreak, although avian influenza does not pose a food…

The Bird Treatment and Learning Center in Anchorage is one of a few bird rehabilitation centers in the state still accepting birds as the avian flu circulates.

Now, along with eagles with broken wings and orphaned baby ducks, the center — often called Bird TLC — is also getting birds infected with the highly pathogenic virus.

Staff have set up a tent in the garage where they take birds that arrive with symptoms — anything from respiratory problems to severe neurological symptoms, like seizures. Some eagles have arrived with such…
